| FAULT: | CAUSE: | REMEDY: | ||
1. |
LED on dashboard stays on | No air pressure | Air pressure should be over 110 psi. | see solution in #3 |
| Broken mainline tubing | Repair lne and de-aerate when new piece of line is used. | link | ||
| Broken meter (internal; not visibly broken, but grease pooling beneath it) | Replace with same size meter | link | ||
| Grease container empty and air bubbles in main system. | Fill reservoir and remove air from system | link | ||
| Pressure switch giving no signal | Check for wire ruptures or replace pressure switch | |||
| Broken solenoid valve | Test; clean, replace if necessary | link | ||
| System not reaching pressure | Check Ecostar pump pressure using pressure guage; should be approx. 1000 psi | |||
| Broken Pump | Test Grease Pump | link | ||
2. |
LED on dashboard doesn't come on | Temporary Electrical Fault | Test timer, fuse and light. Re-set timer. | link |
3. |
Pump does not work, fails to reach pressure | No air pressure | Air pressure should be over 110 psi. Run truck longer to build pressure. | |
| Broken solenoid valve | Test; replace if necessary | link | ||
| Broken timer | Test timer, fuse. Re-set timer. | link | ||
| Grease container empty and air in the pump. | Fill reservoir and remove air from system | link | ||
| Piston does not move upwards | Disassemble Cylinder tube (part 37) and check piston (part 31) | link | ||
4. |
Timer does not work | Poor or interrupted connection | Check connections. | |
| Short-circuit | Check contacts. | |||
| Broken fuse. | Replace fuse; check contacts. | link | ||
| Broken timer. | Test; Replace timer. | link | ||
5. |
Solenoid valve does not work, or does not work properly. | Poor or interrupted electrical circuit. | Check circuit, check manual override without the timer and check connections. | link |
| Blocked/dirty or bad connection | Check circuit, check manual override without the timer and check connections. | link | ||
| Water in the air tank freezing in the solenoid. | Drain the air tank; test solenoid; replace if necessary. | link | ||
6. |
All bearings dry. | Grease container empty. | Fill reservoir and remove air from system | link |
| Broken fuse or wire. | Check contacts; repair or renew as necessary. | link | ||
| Broken solenoid valve or air tubing fractured. | Check clean or replace valve and repair tubing. | link | ||
| Broken timer. | Test; Replace timer. | link | ||
| Mainline (5/16") broken. | Repair lne and de-aerate when new piece of line is used. | link | ||
| Wrong grease used (too thick). | Clean the reservoir and pump the old grease out of the system (remove end plugs from the manifolds). Refill with EP00 or EP0 and remove air from the system. | link | ||
7. |
One or more bearings are dry. | Broken secondary line (3/16") | Repair/fit new line. | link |
| Air in the system | Bleed air from the system. | link | ||
| Broken meter (usually internal) | Replace meter. | link | ||
| Lubrication frequency too low. | Adjust the timer. | link | ||
| Wrong output from meter. | Replace meter with higher output meter. | link | ||
8. |
One or more bearings have an excess of grease. | Broken meter (usually internal) | Replace meter. | link |
| Lubrication frequency too high. | Adjust the timer. | link | ||
| Wrong output from meter. | Replace meter with lower output meter. | link |
